Alex,
You're right of course, thanks for the clarification. I should have said
I'd like an upgrade to the AB Stations similar to what the CP40 gave us
over CP30. And I still won't hold my breath waiting. As I recall from the
Y2K discussions, AB didn't have much interest in continuing to
support/development for this hardware so I imagine a better processor is
out of the question. Any idea how popular the AB Stations are (in terms of
units sold each year) compared to Gateways and Integrators for AB PLCs?

Re: CP40 based AB Station that would let us take our block periods back to

FYI: The hardware is AB hardware. We don't manufacture it; we put software
on their hardware. In that regard, the AB-Station is similar to what
Honeywell does with ControlLogix (sp?) when they create ProcessLogix (sp?).
They put their software on a board manufactured by AB and installed in the
PLC.
